I thought it be okay to post my latest comp in here for those that didn't get it yet...

Gotta new series here titled for another favorite song of mine,"Prisoner Of Love" is a 1931 popular song with music by Russ Columbo and Clarence Gaskill and lyrics by Leo Robin. The song was popularized by Columbo and later became a major hit for Perry Como and The Ink Spots. It was also recorded by Billy Eckstine and many other artist that followed... In all our lifes we are all Prisoners when it comes to love...past, present & future...It's just the music that makes it that more real.

The Veteranos have taken a trip to
the Motor City for our latest offering. As you would expect, most of
these tracks are from the Tamla-Motown stable, although there are a
couple from other Detroit labels too. Berry Gordy's troops were
notorious for covering each other's songs so there are quite a few
examples of that here. The rare color cover pic is from the Tops'
appearance on British television in March 1970. It's from a recently
discovered, color video recording of them performing “I Can’t Help
Myself” on March 15 for Sir David Frost’s “Frost on Sunday” variety
show. I managed to see them at the Finsbury Park Astoria in North London
on that particular U.K. trip of theirs - memorable performance and
incredible atmosphere ! Maybe you can get the same sense of nostalgia
listening to this set. Enjoy, and let us know ! RossyBoy for The Veteranos

I've been grabbing so much stuff, I'm glad to say it's payback time at last ! Got this one in my snailbox this morning. It from a budget U.K. series called Backbeats and this volume of mid-tempo offerings is reckoned to be the best value in the series. Hope you like it. RossyBoy

Not to be confused with the Brooklyn girl group of the same name, the Lovelites were a Chicago-based vocal group that record collectors have sought their vinyls over the years.
The presenter for this Chi-Town comp is Herb Kent. Kent got his first paying gig at age 19 making only 35 dollars a week. That was 1949. Since then, he's worked continuously on-air in and around Chicago. At the age of 83, he holds the Guinness world record as the oldest working DJ. Along the way, he picked up the nickname "Cool Gent," and is credited with coining the phrase "dusty records, " or just "dusties" in reference to classic tracks.
This is why our "Rose" is DustyRose! She also has been a long time friend of Herb Kent so you can understand how & why her "soul" runs so deep.
Herb Kent was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1995.
It's time to enjoy his presentation!
